Review: The "Turbo Putt" is, as far as I know, the only disc ever
designed for the style of putt it is named after. By QuestAT, Its
got nubbins on the edge all the way around similar to a bicycle
handle grip and a 1/2" raised swirl on the bottom that will
accommodate hands of all sizes. Its rubbery as a blowfly that stops
dead at whatever it hits. This thing is as radical in appearance and
design as Aerobie's Epic. It has a flight pattern similar to an
Innova Monster. It will fly predictably from any throw up to 200'.
It dives like mad as soon as it slows down. My flight rating: Speed
5 Glide 2 high speed Turn 0 fade 5
What is interesting is the controversy surrounding the PDGA approval
of this disc. It was approved on 6/4/07, then dissapproved shortly
thereafter? Marshall Street has an interesting take on it.
Apparrently the disc "grabs" chains better than anything else on the
market with its little hand grip nubbins. So the "big" dollar disc
companies got all scared and pressured the PDGA to revoke its
approval of the "turbo putt". Collector's Item then? I think it is
worth getting one just to throw.
